2.2-BETA_A installation floppy and /stand/sysinstall

MD5 (boot.flp) = 684b4d5be8e0721e67bcab47fec6fbe0

>Description:

  In 2.2-961014-SNAP or older, installation program(/stand/sysinstall),
used */usr/sbin/adduser* command to add new user. (sorry I'm not tested
2.2-ALPHA)

  In 2.2-BETA, new code use to add new user.  (Yes,  at first time, I'm
suprised!)

  If /home direcotry was not created at add new user phase,

	[old adduser program]
		1. create /usr/home directory
		2. symlink /home to /usr/home
		3. create user home directory like /usr/home/sanpei :-)
		4. copy skeleton dot files ( .cshrc etc.)

	BUT
	[New add-user program]
		1. does not create /home or /usr/home directory.

I think [old adduser program] style is better than new one. Please
fix this problem.

Thank you.
